Sedation dentistry
Every full arch surgery completed while you’re asleep and monitored by a CRNA or Dental Anesthesiologist.
The basics
At our office we do all procedures under IV – General Sedation – delivered by either a CRNA or a Dental Anesthesiologist.
You’ll be completely asleep under general anesthesia, with a breathing tube protecting your airway, the same kind of anesthesia used in hospital operating rooms. A dedicated anesthesia provider manages it the entire time, so Dr. Falkenberg can focus only on your surgery.
Why a CRNA matters
Your CRNA or Dental Anesthesiologist has one job during surgery: you. Your surgeon never has to split attention.
Oxygen levels, heart rate, blood pressure and breathing are watched throughout.
Medication is adjusted and titrated in real time based on how your body responds.
CRNAs and DA's are advanced-practice nurses with specialized anesthesia education.

Your sedation day
You’re not alone
Many of our full-arch patients haven’t been to a dentist in a long time — often because of fear or a bad past experience. There’s no judgment here.
Tell us what worries you. We’ll explain every step, answer every question, and make sure you feel in control before anything happens.
